Spanish congresswoman Roser Maestro spoke in Congress about the effects of the U.S. blockade against Cuba in other countries, especially due to the Helms-Burton Act.

In an interview published today by Cubainformación in Spain, Maestro explained that the Helms-Burton Act, far from being a reparation for U.S. companies affected by the nationalizations in Cuba in the 1960s, is designed to harm those who, from third countries, invested in Cuba in the Caribbean island.
